BTW. i didn't had to fiddle around for the DB4-database with Simon Matters
RPM's - just make sure, the DB4-Devel-package is installed before doing
rpmbuild --rebuild. Mine works excellent and stable... perhaps after the
recompile your DB4 is no longer good for cyrus.

Perhaps you rpm -e all your DB4-packages and reinstall them again (don't
forget the db4-devel-package) and rebuild your cyrus-packages. If this
doesn't work and you get a error message like:

 May 15 13:51:25 co ctl_cyrusdb[10520]: DBERROR: dbenv- >open
'/var/lib/imap/db' failed: Function not implemented

...try the bugfix also by simon matter on his homepage at
http://www.invoca.ch/pub/packages/cyrus-imapd/db4_for_fc-1/ and do as
described at his homepage with "Just install the original source rpm
db4-4.x.x-x.src.rpm, patch the db4.spec file and do a rpmbuild -bb
db4.spec."
